Poll Numbers

I happened to noticed a trend in the numbers of recent polls on various topics ... they are running eerily similar. This goes across the board.

As most thinking people know political polls have been running a steady 70% against the current cabal on everything including a 70 to 30 split disapproving of the commuting of "Scooter" Libby's prison sentence with 18,577 people responding to that poll.

But take a look at two other polls recently completed.

With 17,664 people responding to a poll asking if they thought Micheal Vick's football career was over 70% said yes 30% said no.

With 20,389 people responding to a poll asking if Harry Potter books should be banned from school libraries 72% said no and 28% said yes.

The same 70-30 split. Our nation is speaking volumes and loudly here but the 30% aren't listening, they have 'their' boy in and can not see reality when it is staring them in the face.

One recent poll however DID break with the trend ... when asked if they would buy an IPod now that the price had dropped to below $200.00US: 21,442 people responded and 95% said no - so not all of us are as dumb as a few of us, it's just the dumb ones really make a lot of squeeky type noises.
